Ema

GNOME runs on NixOS by default using Wayland, however Peek works only in X. For the Ema demo, I recorded a short screencast spawning two windows, VSCode and web browser, as follows:

For parsing org files in Haskell, checkout org-parser (also provides Heist templating) by lucasvreis … as well as the Ema app abacateiro by the same author.

On GitHub you can find a list of Haskell projects I work on, the notable of which are Neuron, Ema and Emanote.

Spiritual successor to Neuron, based on Ema (written in Haskell). Yet to be officially released and announced, even though it is already used by many.

Projects like Ema enable creating your own static-site generator in Haskell, while leveraging Nix for reproducibility. The challenge with deploying your Haskell-based static site on GitHub Pages, however, is the lack of Nix caching. Every time you update your site, the CI will run slowly due to having to:

I’d like announce version 0.8 of Ema. This version is nearly a total rewrite,^* aimed at improving Ema towards two ends:

tldr: Announcing a rewrite of Ema (a static site generator in Haskell with hot reload destined to develop an unique kind of apps) with support for generic route encoders and composability.
